Town Hall Meetings/ accessibility to politicians over?
This was one of my first thoughts yesterday. I don't think it will be the same anymore, especially those open air meetings like Giffords was having.

1. The teabaggers criticized Dems for not having town hall
meetings during the summer of middle aged rage. Now we understand why.

2. Will they still
be allowed to carry all the weapons to the rally's like last year?

3. That was one of mine as well.
What we need is an agreement to stop the stupid violent rhetoric. What we'll get is more security for the politicians, paid for by tax dollars taken away from programs to help the neediest among us.

4. No, but you'll likely be screened by metal detectors in order have that access.
Almost all municipal buildings in NJ have metal detectors in them now for court. I can see this extended to town hall meetings including board of education.

5. Why do I think that Republicans will use this to hire security to bully people?
